As much as we would love Destiny 3, let's be honest...
If it's made by the same people who made Destiny 2 LightFall to the current time it'd be terrible... There's a reason people haven't been playing for the last two years.

2 RepliesPeople have leaked that it was leadership killing the original plan of the devs about the expansion. What you saw was the abomination that leadership pushed for.
-
Lightfall failed by total incompleteness and an overgrown totally, to me, grotesque, teletubbi for a main character. It did give a beautiful location (which sadly is not all that fun to play in but beautiful!), strand, and skimmers. It had soooo much potential but was absolutely incomplete. If Bungo actually listened, it could have become so much better. A REQUIREMENT FOR D3 would require that when they say '[b][i]We are listening[/i][/b]' they don't mean "We hear you and could careless - time for a new car -- look whats in Eververse!"

15 RepliesThe devs weren't the problem, it was management. And people not playing as much is cause the story came to an end for d2. D2's story ended with final shape. They should've 'ended' the game then by putting the game in maintenance mode like they are now, and started planning on moving the franchise forward. What they are doing right now is the right thing to do, they just picked the wrong spot to do it.
-
I noticed that the writing started to piss me off just after crow showed up.. I left D2 after they added strand
-
2 RepliesBut we love the genre of mmo/looter shooter. Bungie/Sony thinking we will switch to an extraction shooter is a massive strategic miscalculation. Even when they make it for free for a week it will not matter. Destiny will have more players the week after. Putting all your resources and betting on Marathon is another bad management mistake. It’s a rushed desperate decision. They could have done it so much better. 1. Keep final D2 update as it is 2. Update D1 to 60 fps 3. Work on a new Destiny title for the PS6

4 RepliesIt was a leadership problem. We saw how Pete Parsons conned Sony. There's plenty of talent at Bungie, they just need leadership who's passionate about the game and have a solid vision for what it can be. Maybe even bring some peoples back that left over past issues that will be mute at this point. Starting over with competent capable leadership would make all the difference in the world. Plus, they need to keep that sensual content barf out of the game, it was almost vomit inducing what they did to Osiris. Halo is the gold standard FPS and they truly need to stick to their roots.

1 ReplyIf it's made by the same team with different heads, it would be great. The issue is the greedy execs fettering changes and progress people actually wanted for the game. Replace the leadership with people who aren't scared of overdelivery and will let the devs who love the game take care of it and the team will do great. The June 9 update looks to be fantastic, the team has the sauce, they just aren't allowed to use it.

4 RepliesThe devs dont seem to be the problem it’s the management
-
2 RepliesThe same that made witchqueen and final shape. The issue is priorities and choices. Too bad the choices were not positive for d2.
-
5 RepliesBecause you think final shape was awful, does not imply it was awful to all who played it. It was well received as was witchqueen . Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, just because you do not agree with my comments does not make me wrong or right as with your view being wrong or right.

2 RepliesEdited by Mark, Scholar of Stars: 5/30/2026 10:29:33 PMI wouldn't buy another video game from them. My guess is Bungie will exclusively develop Marathon if they can raise the user numbers, like Sony requests. And they will continue on Destiny with another of their studios. The brand is too valuable to be ignored and already introduced. Gummy Bears, one of Bungie's unfinished projects, is a good example. They didn't get finalization back. Instead, Sony formed a new studio with laid-off developers who worked at Bungie once at Gummy Bears. Apart from that, Bungie will be hit with another, now the third one, layoff. They're becoming smaller and will also be another PlayStation studio. Edit: Text correction
-
I just wish Bungie would stop being so vague. I get that they love doing that, but this is a very serious topic. And what DMG is tweeting is not helping. Especially with content creators blowing everything up with tinfoil hat theories. We need hard, straight facts. Not wishful, vague speculations.
-
I'm sick and tired of seeing you tubers making videos about d3, it will be d2 reskinned if allowed to go ahead, I don't get why people think it will be new and great, it will be D3 Edge of fate part 2 the sooner people understand that the better
-
1 ReplyNo, I wouldn't love D3, largely because I thought of the reason you mentioned years ago.... Same company making it wouldn't fix the main issue.
-
Apparently a lot of good ideas were shot down... Which doesn't surprise me I worked for a big company for a while... The only thing they care about are numbers and budgets... It's not about it being practical It's about it looking good on paper or being spun in a boardroom... Two different worlds two different kinds of common sense... If you make a great game people are going to play it... Versus designing a product to maximize profitability... When a normal person buys something they want it to work and have it for as long as possible without it breaking... If you're a corporation it's sell a product that sounds amazing but is quickly replaceable so they can buy another one
-
10 RepliesYeah, once bungie started using pronouns, everything started to suck and not in a good way.
-
3 RepliesHonestly, looking at all the changes they're making with the final update, I'm not so sure. It really seems like at least someone was listening, I never thought they'd ditch the portal but they have. Maybe not a D3 but I think the next year of D2 if it had happened, could have been pretty good.
-
Truth. ^^ The game has not been near as fun, or engaging. The difficulty level and story lines are over the top bad. Refusal to make adjustments when losses started is key to the mentality of the dev team and leadership. None of the nerfs in this latest release were necessary, and frankly, making the game fun again and making guns powerful enough to be the center of a SHOOTER/LOOTER. Enough with get the right armor, use the exact build with the correct stat profile, and kill stuff with abilities instead of weapons.
-
Personally I think they should’ve announced they’re going to not put anything out for a year or two. From there rework D2, add a real onboarding experience back, even if that means reworking the Red War so it could be brought back and rebranding the game as the Destiny Infinite thing or just call it Destiny. (My wish list would include just putting D1 in the game too, but that seems like a tall ask) At the relaunch also have a banger expansion. Then just do a yearly expansion model, no seasons. Go back to not being a constant live service game. I think everyone has proven they’d come back yearly.

Edited by LeluDallas MultiPass: 5/30/2026 7:07:13 PM100% this is the reason I'm hesitant about the petition going around. I'm not comfortable putting my name on a blanket-plea for Bungie to just slap some content together & rush into a D3 pitch... If I could, I'd sign my name with a note saying "please make D3 in a couple years, with a completely new dev team, made of mostly gamer bros who are covered in Cheeto dust & passionate about shooter games"
-
2 RepliesBungie is not the issue, people leading Bungie like Pete were. What they need for a D3 is a fresh vision, and the devs already love it.
-
4 RepliesIf it had the love Final Shape had, it would be great
-
Because Bungie did not select them by quality in the first place.
-
7 RepliesEdited by Northern: 5/31/2026 8:45:08 AMFactor in some developers transferring to support Marathon, while the remaining devs are facing significant redundancies, there's no way Bungo could make D3. At it's peak, Bungie had around 1000 working on the franchise. Then there's the small matter of D3 development costs, estimated to be in the $300-500 million range. Not happening.
